A quick, nourishing, and fuss-free paleo and Whole30 compliant egg salad packed with protein, creamy avocado, and crunchy veggies. Perfect for meal prep and busy days.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs, hard-boiled and peeled
  • 1 ripe avocado, mashed
  • 2 stalks celery, finely diced
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, Whole30 compliant
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped (optional)
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
  • Optional add-ins: chopped cooked bacon, halved cherry tomatoes, sliced radishes

Instructions

  1. Place 6 large eggs in a medium pot and cover with cold water about an inch above them. Bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, then cover, remove from heat, and let sit for 10-12 minutes.
  2. Drain and cool eggs in an ice bath for 5 minutes to stop cooking and ease peeling.
  3. Gently tap eggs to crack shells, peel carefully, and then either slice or roughly chop into bite-sized pieces.
  4. In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe avocado until smooth but still a little chunky. Add the Dijon mustard, fresh lemon juice, and olive oil. Stir to combine into a creamy dressing base.
  5. Finely dice the celery and thinly slice the green onions. Chop fresh dill if using. Fold these into the avocado mixture, stirring gently to blend flavors and textures.
  6. Gently fold the chopped eggs into the avocado-vegetable mixture. Season with sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste.
  7. If adding optional bacon or other extras, mix them in now.
  8. Chill the salad for at least 15 minutes before serving to let flavors marry.

Notes

Use fresh eggs for best texture and flavor. The ice bath helps with easy peeling. Leave small chunks when mashing avocado for texture. Fold ingredients gently to keep eggs from breaking down. Soak celery in cold water for 10 minutes if you prefer milder flavor. Chill salad for at least 15 minutes before serving. Store leftovers in airtight container in fridge up to 3 days. Stir before serving to refresh texture.
